Who am I - part 4

[Modo]

(This one might be a bit more challenging, trying my best to be vague)

I was born in England and spent my entire football career here.
It was a long career with several different teams. I somehow managed to play for 3 of the big 4 teams in a certain area in England.
I earned a few caps, but I didn't score.
My only major trophy is a cup win.

Who am I?

Which 3 out of big 4 teams did he play for?

Blackburn. Bolton. Preston. Not Burnley.

 

[Modo]

Blackburn. Bolton. Preston. Not Burnley.

I thought Bolton was in Manchester?

 

[Woland]

I was thinking Villa, Birmingham, West Brom. Also 8 caps no goals. I league cup.

Depends on what you mean by area. They're all centred around Blackburn. Immaterial anyway, he didn't win any cups unless you count the play off trophy.

Good thinking. I think the no goals thing gave it away.

Then I'd count promotion trophies as well.

Then I'd count promotion trophies as well.

Well, they are major trophies from a certain point of view.

 

[Modo]

I think 18 of our league titles turned into promotion trophies.

 

[dantes]

Yeah but we have the afcon trophies instead. Six of one half a dozen of the other.
